Defining what proficiency looks like in some areas.

Bring in other data points like Benchmarks, DIBELS (6 week review).

Going in with a focus - leave each meeting with specific next steps.
 Regular time to meet whole group - progress monitor our data team conversations.

Look ahead at exams and next steps.
